of green things and a weird yellow ball in the sky
So, growing up in San Francisco, you never really understand the true joy of spring. Cause winter in SF is great! It's warm and sunny - way better than summer. So spring is kinda non-existent.
But in Seattle, you learn to love your sudden spring days. And today was so nice people! The perfect day to weed the garden, strip the evil ivy from the kitchen window (my apartment is so nice and bright now!) and get some mulching going on. Which I did. Somehow my rainbow chard made it through the winter of hell. Under 2 feet of snow, and they're still growing. Good stuff.
I have miscellaneous bulbs growing. I do half remember planting some. Maybe tulips? Definitely some daffodils. Maybe crocuses? I don't know, so I'm really excited to see what they are when they bloom.
Thanks to the wonderfulness of alamo_girl80 and xlivvielockex, I have a huge new guilty pleasure = 24. Why am I so late to the party? And why, (why?) did I decide to start just before midterms? Just finished Season 1 and am in total shock. Cannot wait to get started on S2.
Can't watch Top Chef finale until next week. It's safely stored on Bob the Tivo, and I keep wanting to peek. And weirdly, I think spring has jump started my muse again - I've had little stories and scenes flickering through my head this next week. Any day now, inspiration may strike! *crosses fingers*
PS - I won a $100 gift certificate to a fancy restaurant last night at a fundraiser for the Australian fire relief. Yay! (plus got to oogle cute rugby players, which is never a bad thing...)
